Goda Palekaitė

Goda Palekaitė (1987, Lithuania) is an artist, researcher and curator working in the intersection of contemporary art, performance, artistic research, literature, and anthropology. Her practice evolves around projects and programmes exploring the politics of historical narratives, the agency of dreams and fiction, and the alternative discourses of knowledge.

During her residency at MORPHO, Goda will be writing on a script for a new performance and exploring the intimacy with history through concrete poetry.
